Paul Brady - Paddy's Green Shamrock Shore lyrics



From Derry quay we sailed away
On the 23rd of May
We were boarded by a pleasant crew
Bound for Americay

Fresh water there we did take on
Five thousand gallons or more
In case we'd run short going to New York
Far away from the Shamrock Shore

Chorus
So fare thee well sweet Lisa dear
And likewise to Derry town
And twice farewell to me comrade boys
Who dwell on that sainted ground

If fortune it ever should favour me
Or I to have money in store
I'll come back and I'll wed the wee lassie I left
On Paddy's green Shamrock Shore


Well we sailed three days and we were all sea-sick
Not a man on board was free
We were all confined unto our bunks
With no one to pity poor me

No father dear nor mother kind
To hold up me head when 'twas sore
Which made me think more on the lassie I left
On Paddy's green Shamrock Shore


Well we safely reached the other side
In three and twenty days
We were taken as passengers by a man
And led 'round in six different ways

We each of us drank a parting glass
In case we might never meet more
And we drank a health to old Ireland
And Paddy's green Shamrock Shore

Chorus
